Title (Max 100 Characters)

Buffalo, NY (August 3, 2016) — Dunkin’ Donuts guests can enjoy a new coffee experience, as Cold Brew coffee is now available at all participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants in Western New York. Guests are invited to try a free sample of the Cold Brew coffee at local WNY Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants on August 5th and 6th between 10am and 2pm. Dunkin’ Donuts’ Cold Brew coffee is prepared by steeping a special blend of coffee in cold water over an extended period of time to extract a distinctive, rich flavor from the beans. The longer brewing process provides a rich, smooth coffee with an inherently sweeter flavor reminiscent of dark chocolate. Cold Brew offers another exciting choice for those who prefer their coffee cold, along with the brand’s signature Iced Coffee. Launched first in the metro New York and California markets earlier this summer, Cold Brew coffee is crafted by hand in Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants in small batches and served each day while supplies last. The ultra-smooth and naturally sweet flavor profile lends itself to being enjoyed black, but it is customizable based on guest preference. Dunkin’ Donuts’ Cold Brew coffee is available in small (16 oz.), medium (24 oz.) and large (32 oz.) cup sizes. “Late summer into fall is a perfect time to give coffee fans a bold, new option, making our new Cold Brew an ideal addition to our innovative beverage lineup,” said Jeff Miller, executive chef at Dunkin’ Donuts and Buffalo native. “The longer brewing process extracts the flavors differently than our famous iced coffee, providing our guests a rich, smooth beverage with refreshing chocolate notes. We’re excited to offer Cold Brew coffee to our fans in Buffalo.” According to The NPD Group/CREST®, Dunkin’ Donuts is the number-one retailer in the iced coffee category in the United States. The introduction of Cold Brew is the latest in a series of extensions to the brand’s coffee offerings. Last fall, Dunkin’ Donuts introduced the macchiato to its line of espresso-based beverages and Dark Roast Coffee in 2014. Dunkin’ Donuts also offers eight every-day coffee flavors, as well as new Almond Joy and Heath flavors, which are available for a limited time this summer.
